November 8 2026 Meeting Presentation
Andrew Osyany – A Taste of the Flora of Utah
Andrew Osyany is one of the founding members of ORG&HPS.
From 1966 to about 2010 Andrew averaged at least one trip a year to Western mountains.
Many were organized by the late Barrie Porteous and the core group consisted of Marion Jarvie and the also late Trevor Ashbee.
Since retirement Andrew has digitized all his slides, which run continuously on his desktop. Andrew says, "All these wonderful memories make me smile a lot, accounting for my wrinkled face."

ORG&HPS features members’ 20 minute presentations at most meetings in the Members Showcase. In this part of our monthly meetings we would like to hear about your insights and experiences from your garden or gardens you have visited. It can be on a wide range of horticultural subjects, from the local flora that hold a fascination for you, to the exotic.
• Perhaps you have experience with native plants? Or starting seeds, or bulbs, spring or fall, or everything in between? Have you been taking pictures of your garden over the summer and are interested showing these gardening highlights at our meetings?
• Many of our members have visited noteworthy gardens, remote locations to see special plants, or attended horticultural events.
All of these, and more, would be fine presentations to ORG&HPS Member Showcase segments.
Please consider putting together a 20 minute Showcase Presentation. For more information, contact the Co-ordinator, Beatrice Beaubien at
